No. Is there a CdG airport in Quebec?

Then perhaps you can point me to a record of the incident, as I would
be interested in reading about it. I've never heard of a problem like
this in France before.



That's because you're not a pilot

That's not the point. The point is that an American accent, even
"standard" American without any noticeable regional dialect, can be
an obstacle to foreigners who were taught British English, especially
if their command of the language is not perfect.

This is incorrect. If they are sufficiently fluent in English, the
accent will not be an obstacle. Any accent strong enough and
different enough to be a problem would also be a problem for native
English speakers. In this case, the native speakers understood
easily, and so the problem was the incompetence of the pilot. Rest
assured, he wouldn't understand any British accent, either.


Wrong agian, fjuktard.


I am a pilot and accents are a problem for all pilots. As well as
syntax.


But then you don't fly, so how could you know that?

No idea. Fact is, the controller didn't use standard phraseology.

Whether he used it or not is not important in this case.


Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?

It is not critical if all parties are competent in English. And if they are
not competent, "standard phraseology" will not hhelp.

El,

Intelligent people can see that it is critical


Is that a standard phrase? gd&r

FWIW, I obviously agree with you.

As usual, s/he wrote nothing in response to my statement, however the
statement is still applicable to his posting.

In your world, I'm sure you believe that.
